<p>i mean in US area..</p>

<p>i called the office the other day and they told me to wait until 2/15 for alum interview appointment..</p>

<p>i submitted my app back to Nov. last yr...should take that long??</p>

<p>how's ur guys' interview situation?</p>

<p>Thank you!!!</p>

<p>nooo, its only basis for selectivity is whether the area you live in has an alumnus living in it. Relax, if they can find someone to interview you, then they'll let you know.</p>

<p>hmmm...right now im living in NJ ..i guess there is alum nearby??</p>

<p>should i call the office to say that i can also go to NYC for the interview??</p>

<p>the lady said i should wait until 2/15..however, we have spring break starts 3/2 and i will be around chicago then...i really do hope to get the response asap.. sigh...</p>

<p>We're from NJ (northwest). My son had his interview 2 weeks ago.</p>

5

<p>im from central jersey..well...does when u submitted app. matter?</p>

<p>submitted on 1/1. But one of the Harvard alumni interviewers that posts here has said that it is just luck of the draw. Also, sometimes interviewers receive the list of names from the alumni association but haven't contacted the applicants yet, or perhaps in the area you are from, there were too many applicants, and they are doing their best to assign as many as they can to interviewers.</p>

<p>ic. i guess not so many ppl from central jersey applying harvard, cuz as far as i know, ppl here are stick with princeton, upen, columbia, NYU, etc.</p>

<p>i guess i will wait a little longer and see wut happens. thank you!</p>

<p>get an email just now. very happy!</p>

<p>BUT. my interviewer seems to be a senator, at least a noble figure...</p>

<p>should i be prepared? a little bit nervous right now...should i do some background research about my interviewer?</p>

<p>If he's a senator then you probably should =p</p>

10

<p>I had my interview two weeks ago, it was pretty simple and straightforward.</p>

11

<p>I'm screwed. I don't know my interviewer's last name... AAAAAAAAHHHHHH</p>

12

<p>ZTT, I would google his name and check out his website (if he is in state/federal office, he should have one).</p>

<p>None of NJ's senators went to Harvard. Must be a state senator, which means that they won't be that intimidating at all. State senators aren't that "noble".</p>
